《Adailton》
(Unlike the match against Kashima, we scored a goal today. What we have been working on up to this point)
"The match against Kashima was difficult, and we were held back. Today, I am very happy that we were able to score from the left side in the shape we practiced."

(He played a key role in leading the team's attack, but today's victory was due to)
"The match against Kashima was tough defensively, and to be honest, I couldn't really showcase my strengths. I knew Shimizu would come with strong pressure, but I understood where spaces would open up and where chances would arise. I believe we prepared well, so I think it resulted in a good outcome."

(Did we take time to practice our midfield coordination and high-position defense?)
"I believe our strong point of aggressively winning the ball from the front line was effective, and within that, I won the ball and scored from a combination with player Abe. I want to continue in this way."

(With the number of goals from last season in sight, double-digit scoring is also becoming a possibility)
"Of course, I want to score goals, and I hope to achieve better results than last season to bring more joy to the fans and supporters."

Masato MORISHIGE
"In the last few matches, including the Levain Cup, I have felt frustrated.
I am glad that we were able to show a good match as a team in front of many fans and supporters today.

(It was a great goal that showcased my strengths)
"It was a good ball that went over the opponent's GK, and I just had to position myself without jumping."

(Considering against Shimizu)
"The opponent is fighting to avoid relegation, but we are in a situation where we have neither championship nor relegation to worry about."
Even so, we all talked about showing our fighting spirit like today in front of the fans and supporters. I believe we were able to do that today.

(Today, over 18,000 fans and supporters attended. We are determined to fight together in the last four matches)
"When I stepped into the stadium and saw so many fans and supporters, it was very reassuring.
I want to do my best next time so that we can share joy together like today.

Leandro
(I participated in the academy activities while on suspension, but what did I think and what did I feel)
I visited the academy and school, participating while reminiscing about my childhood. In that process, I thought about what I could convey and participated.
I think it became a good time and space for both of us, as there were things I realized as well.
"Even while unable to play in matches, I was training for the time when I could participate in matches again."

I think it was a few weeks to get myself back in order.
"This period was a difficult time.
In today's match, both the team and I have prepared to play at our best to have a good game.

(Reflecting on today's match)
"In today's match, we scored three goals early in the first half, and we were able to play well from that good momentum. I want to continue having matches like this."
I played in a match for the first time in a while, and although I didn't have match experience, I was able to practice well, so I think I was able to play well.

(What I discussed with the coach ahead of today's match)
"There have been various things, including this one, but the coach told me that he believes in me. He also said to play well."
There were discussions like that before the match, and that’s why we have been training hard up to this point for this match.

(What thoughts and feelings did you have when entering the pitch)
"I had a strong desire to play in the match, and I was finally able to do so. Since I was able to participate in a good flow of the game, I was able to play calmly.
I felt it was a wonderful time

(In the last 4 matches, how do we want to fight)
"As long as we are wearing the Tokyo uniform, we are fighting as representatives of this club.
I want to approach the match with only winning in mind.

《Tokyo - Summary of the Press Conference with Director Kenta HASEGAWA》
I think the players really fought well, concentrating from the start of the match.
I believe that continuing to press the opponent led to things like their own goal, and I want to continue playing matches filled with this kind of passion for the next four games.
With the capacity being halved from this match, a very large number of fans and supporters came, and that pushed the players forward.
I want to prepare to have intense matches in the upcoming games.

(Although we scored multiple goals early on and secured the victory, the reason we were able to reflect our good form in the results is)
"There were 10 days since the last match, and we were able to prepare thoroughly. During practice, we discussed not only the Shimizu match through meetings but also what the reasons are for not being able to win despite having good performances recently.
If there are moments of lack of concentration or plays, such as conceding goals from similar time frames or set pieces, we cannot win.
It's easy to say, but can you continue to fight without losing focus for 90 minutes?
In the first half against Kashima, we were unable to take the initiative, so we discussed approaching the Shimizu match with the same attitude we had in the second half of that game. With many veteran players, their leadership has been reassuring, and I feel that the good atmosphere we had during practice contributed to today's match.

(Evaluation of Takumi NAKAMURA)
"Today, I noticed some light play towards the end, so I want him to maintain his focus and aim for a higher level."
I think this player has been gradually improving over the past year despite various challenges. Of course, I hope they continue to grow, but they are gaining various experiences this season, so I want them to keep showcasing their strengths moving forward.

(I think there were concerns about how to utilize Leandro in the match, but what were your thoughts?)
"I believe there are various opinions, but I think Leandro has faced enough consequences, and he is sincerely reflecting on his actions. Ultimately, both I and the club have come to the conclusion that we want to give him another chance. I believe he has received this sentiment as well."
I believe he understood the importance of returning to the essence of fair play and approached the match with that in mind.
I think he is a truly wonderful player, but one action can lead to completely opposite results.
I want them to approach the matches with the same attitude as today.

《Shimizu - LOTINA Coach Press Conference Summary》
"Tokyo scored 2 goals, then 3 goals, making it a difficult match where they took the lead early on.
It was a difficult first half to express the plan we are aiming for.
In the second half, we were able to express what we were aiming for and control the game, or the opponent retreated.
We were able to create chances and felt we could make it 1-3, but while we were also dealing with counterattacks, they scored their fourth goal from a corner kick. When you concede three goals from set pieces against a strong opponent, it makes for a very tough match.
Set pieces have been good defensively lately, but today we gave them a big advantage in that area.

(How to rebuild the team from here)
"It was a match that I approached with a lot of excitement, and with many supporters coming out, I was eager to take on the game. Because of that, it became a very painful match."
However, as professionals, we should stand up here, and I hope that all the supporters will stand up once again and fight alongside the team.

(Three consecutive matches without scoring, but the areas for improvement in the attack are)
"The issues vary from match to match."
There are matches where we create chances but cannot score, and then there are matches like today where we allowed the opponent to take the lead first. The opponent is good at defending while retreating, making it difficult to create chances and score in the second half.
I believe that there is a need to continue improving and enhancing that.

(How to reflect on the scenes of conceding goals from the second and third set pieces)
"When you allow three goals from set pieces, it becomes quite difficult.
It is necessary to improve that area further. Recently, we have been defending well, but we gave away an advantage in that aspect.
Regarding the second goal conceded, Ronaldo's header went towards the goal amidst some unfortunate circumstances, and Gonda was in a situation where he couldn't react. There is room for improvement for the third and fourth goals.
I think we need the strength to attack the ball with more power and the strength to bounce it back.
